USA won WW II in 45 months - Bush has been chasing Osama for 55 months |

You can check my math but I think it is correct.

Hitler and Hirohito had millions on their side and the power of massive states behind them.
There are estimated to be approx 5,000 or less members of al-Aqaeda and Osama has no state power, no army, no manufacturing base, no technology...possibly the only thing he has right now is a tape recorder.

If the Bush family had one of their men in the White House then, things would have turned out differently...

11. Well let step back a bit...the USA did not win WW II |
|
We were a partner in the victory....fact is Russia was the prime contributor to the defeat of Germany. Our contribution was invaluable, and our motivation more pure than the Russians, but militarily speaking we were not the primary actors!
